In this project I create a computer with a designated budget using the website PCPartPicker. I had to pick 12 components of a computer and make sure that all were compatable and within my budget.
I learned that there are many components that go into building a highly functional PC. I found it difficult to choose which components to spend more on and which I could cheap out on. I currently have a prebuilt tower of my own and would love to use what I learned here to slowly upgrade my current capabilities!
